[2001-04-09-WWF-Raw] Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, Steve Austin & Triple H vs Jeff Hardy, Lita & Matt Hardy

[Makai Club #1]

This was decided after Lita congratulating Linda on declaring her intentions of divorcing Mr McMahon - in a long tedious promo, I might add - and he was understandably mad at this so this was made as punishment. And since one isn’t a wrestler, it’s not much of a punishment. HHH and Austin are above the Hardys in levels but it’s still a great opportunity for them to beat the WWF and IC champs. What an odd punishment. Jeff Hardy thought so as well. The match itself was solid. The Hardys put up a great fight despite being out-matched. The Hardys and Lita pull off some big dives, something that HHH and Austin can’t really counter which gives them a small edge. Plus Stephanie isn’t really a trained wrestler, unlike Lita, so they exploit that by separating the men from Stephanie which allows Lita to get the win. Austin and HHH beat her up afterwards with a steel chair… ***
